This top of the table clash in the NFC South should be an intriguing face off of contrasting styles; with the Buccaneers certain to try and smash their way through the Falcons' line with their rush offense, against a Falcons team who love to put the ball in the air, and only run when necessary. Both have been hugely successful at executing their strategies until now, and it will be interesting to see which comes out on top come the end of today's game.
Interestingly there were still more than 7,000 non-premium tickets unsold for this game as of Tuesday, meaning there is the danger of the game being blacked out on TVs in the Tampa area if they remain unsold.
